Windows 10: Is it possible to change the title bar *TEXT* color?

Today, Windows 10 Home version 1511, 10586 was forced on me and now my title bar text is an ugly white. It used to be black and I have no clue how to get it back that way. I searched and found this tutorial that tells you to modify a value in the registry, but that didn't do a thing. Is there a way to change this or is it stuck this way now? It's actually quite annoying.

Is it possible to change title bar text color to black if choosing blue as accent color in Windows 10??

Hey,

starting with the 1511 update, Windows automatically changes the text color in title bars to White, if choosing blue as Accent Color in the settings. Is it possible to change it back to black whilst keeping blue title bars?? I really hate the white text
color!

Thanks!

Hi,


Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

No. It cannot be done, changing the text colour of the task bar, whilst changing the task bar colour to blue. As its by design and suggest you to use the Feedback app to provide your valuable suggestion.

Keep us posted for further assistance, we are to assist you.

Thank you.

Yes, that's what I was talking about. I did this and it didn't work.

Also, a person in that thread mentioned, "If I choose automatic color my title bar text color is always black. I have also noticed that when first choosing a single color that title bar text color will be set automatically to white or black depending upon the single color chosen."


This is also happening to me.

 

did you restart?

otherwise this may be the way to do that :

I agree. Yes, it is- you have complete control if you use Aeroglass. And you can choose your active and inactive title bar colours. Except for Wordpad (always black text) and one other at least...
(This has been discussed extensively in another thread- perhaps the one quoted above..)

(I had understood that in the latest release, MS had applied colour to the active title bar.. in the first public release all were white, no borders, so very confusing).

 

I am looking for the opposite *Smile

is it possible to change the black text color ?

I have played with some registry color settings without success.

 

Have you tried this tutorial: Title Bar Text Color - Change in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums If you have problems, post there please so when they're worked out, it will help others*Biggrin

Have tri,ed both.Only the text in windows explorer changes.

 

It should change the text color for all system32 window title bars(see screenshot). Universal Apps and some newer program UI's remain uneffected because they use XAML instead.

 

Unsure what you mean. Assuming you are referring to the white title bar text shown in my screenshot, that shows it having been changed FROM black TO white, and that in fact any colour is supported using Aeroglass and the tweaker available with it.

The exception (black) is Wordpad and one other - I forget which.

 

I have managed to get your white(in my case blue) title bars.

But I meant all the black titles on my screenshots above (Chrome + taskbar icons) changig to white.

I have played with various settings below.

 

Well, as it happens, if I expand my taskbar icons to show captions, they are white also (I've always had them hidden as Windows default now). So the colour matches the window titlebar text colour.

No idea about Chrome browser.. I don't use it.

I suppose if one used Aeroglass's tweaker, by using (e.g.) regshot, you could find out which registry keys are being changed... Just wondering what would happen if you used that without Aeroglass installed....

From your screenshot, ActiveTitle and Inactivetitle and InactiveTitleText look relevant (why isn't there an ActiveTitleText?) but it begs the question as to where the toolbar text colour is defined.

 

I have this problem as well. I want to keep black text in my title bars while having them colored blue. In Windows 10 1511 it always chooses white text color, regardless of any registry values.
Is there any way to achieve a black text with blue colored title bars in 1511??

Thanks for your help in advance!!
